Recruits stats and Senior performance

I think he'll break the Top 25 in at least one of the rating systems when all is said and done.

I don't think I've ever seen an ISU recruit since I've been paying attention to recruiting quite like him... he just seems three steps ahead of everyone on the court, and like he knows exactly what to do.

He looks like a four star recruit playing in 1A ball, but he's playing against the best of the best.
 
You are right kinda...He was rated but came in 4th in Mr. basketball for Illinois
Hmm, interesting, Idk why I was under the impression Private Schools can't be put up for the award.
But to AD's fairness, that was his first year he was at 6'11 and he was getting the national attention. Playing on a crappy team didn't help him any either, I'm sure.

edit: looking back, the Private Schools thing I said is wrong(maybe prep was what I was thinking). Because Sobo from Benet also got votes (amazing he was the higher recruit of him and Frank Kaminsky). My b.

You are 100% correct think about he came in 4th with a team that didn't even win 10 games

I remember as a freshman watching a rival school here in Iowa that ended up sending 3 players to D1 colleges. While I didn't necessarily cheer for them, they were certainly fun to watch.
Simeon has 4 of the top 15 players in Illinois according to 247:

2. Horton-Tucker - Iowa State
9. Kezo Brown - Unsigned (Claims KU and kNU offers)
14. Xavier Pinson - Mizzou
15. Messiah Jones - Drake

It's always fun to see that Iowa State has #2, #3 (Griffin) and #8 (Conditt) from that '18 Illinois class.

And people are debating if THT should be #1 even. Ayo is a helluva player, but the rumblings are warranted due to the way THT has just taken over that city this year.
 


Haliburton's stats from Friday night:
29 pts (13-15 overall, 1-2 from 3, 2-3 ft), 6 rebounds, 8 asts, 1 blk, 6 stls.
He had 25 in the 1st half and his team won by a lot. Guessing he didn't play much 2H.

Saturday night:
31 pts (12-16 overall, 2-3 from 3, 5-7 ft), 7 rebounds, 4 asts, 2 blk, 6 stls.
Scored 21 in 1st half. Won by 20+ again so might not of played much 2H.

It’ll be interesting to see how Clements does this summer, although the strengths of his game may not translate well to the AAU.
